reindeer facts

So, Anniston had her second RSV shot today...not as cheerful of an event as her first one, but not bad all the same. Because she has still been gaining weight pretty well, she moved up to a larger dosage that included TWO shots instead of one. Double the joy. One aspect of these precautionary trips to the doctor's office that I do enjoy (and might have already revealed) is that I get to see how much Anniston weighs. Much more effective than the holding-her-on-the-home-scale-thing, by the way.

Drumroll....she weighs 14lb 13oz!! She has gained over a pound in less than a month! Confirmations are nice, and this was ours. God knew we needed to be reminded that her heart is well, that He has healed her entire body, and that she is growing like a weed (for her)! Thank you, Lord. Thank you.

I do hope Christmas was (and everyday from now on is) filled with relaxation, cozy family time, and reflection on our gracious Savior.

I have this picture on my computer desktop and look at her everyday... I'm remembering how she loved being outside that day too! She is such a JOY!!! So bright eyed and pretty! JanJan did good getting this cute little outfit for her! It's just adorable! Anniston is just a little doll! Praise the Lord for her growth and weight gain! GG does not like to see her own scales go up in weight but so happy for Anniston! :) I'm a little scared to get on my scales after the holidays... way too much good food the last few weeks! I think I'll walk a week or so on the treadmill and then get on the scales! haha!! Have a good week!

I'm so glad she's doing well. I'd been so worried we might've passed on our sick germs when we saw you guys and had been praying she didn't get all this yuckiness. I'm so glad God heard that prayer! I suppose he knew she didn't need this gunk to deal with and protected her. Had I known Illness was on our horizon we'd have quarantined ourselves Christmas Eve for sure! We're still battling coughing and snot but we're definitely on the mend! We really did enjoy seeing ya'll so much, though!! Thanks for the visit- Anniston's even more lovely in person!

Hi family and friends! Stan and I decided to post this blog to keep all of you updated on the goings-on of our small but growing family :). We hope you find yourselves somewhat entertained as you explore our simple, extremely blessed lives. As I write this, I am inclined to say that ultimately, through all of the high, low, and in-between moments and days we will inevitably and hopefully have, God deserves all of the honor and praise that our family can give. We love you all!
